Every time I RPG I wonder why Tolkien never discribed the fate of the common people. We never find out how the people that DIDNīT destroy rings or command armies. What happened to those that were simple farmers, drawn into a war they didnīt understand?
I'm not sure I agree with this, Manardariel.
Tolkien describes the life and sometimes the death of each of the members of the fellowship, though, it isn't part of the story, it's in the apendices, so I guess from that viewpoint it could be argued that you are right.
